“ That the birds of worry fly above your head-this you cannot change. But that they build nests in your hair-this you can prevent” -Chinese Proverb
Hello there and thanks for allowing me another opportunity to share my thoughts! Oh worry-it has has been one of the most passionate pastimes in my life. So today I’m going to talk to you a little bit about it and some things I hope you will take the heart .I am an intrinsically anxious person. As a lifelong klutz I try to make sure I take every possible precaution to prevent me from falling or cutting myself or creating some other type of havoc (like catching my altar on fire) .Didn’t really see that one coming though. Thankfully I was able to put the fire out with no injury to self or property and I don’t recommend sprinkling Florida water on the open flame of a candle.
I have obsessed over everything from finances to my jobs to my love life-and the thing is I realized that throughout the course of my life so many things were not changed by my anxiety or my worry. As a matter of fact I’m certain that I have choked the magic I worked so hard to create many many times through my tendency to obsessively think about it.
Now- I really like to fancy myself a person of deep faith. I know there were certain spiritual things I was meant to do in this lifetime and so many circumstances have led me to this path I currently walk.
I once heard that faith is the opposite of fear. And what is fear? It is imagining something that has not happened ye or nay never happen. It is worrying constantly that what I have done in fact did nothing and just didn’t . If you look in the spellmaker.com archives there is actually a wonderful article by the late great sister Candelaria about how there are really only two emotions -love and fear. I read this article years ago, but it has always inspired me. I tried to remember in my moments of greatest doubt that I can choose to approach and think about life with either love or fear. Sometimes the fear wins. But sometimes in those shining moments of clarity the love comes out on top and I can let go of a situation and its outcome and let things unfold. I don’t need to micromanage every single thing that seems to be happening to either help or hinder me in the situation. For me this is one of the greatest blessings in life. We are so very fortunate to have the lwa to assist us. Our spirits and our dedicated spellmaker.com family is another.
For me I know that if I’ve done the work and put my petitions out there those spirits will work out a way to help me that in a fashion that is also meant for my greatest good.
So many times situations have worked out after I’ve done a spell. Whether it was due to a nine-day kit, a session with the cosmic voodoo eggs or even a service, so many times problems have worked out in ways that I could never have possibly imagined. Things may not always work out in the way I wanted initially but still events unfold that will allow me to understand why things happened and things turned out even better.
There is one thing I know for absolute certain; for me, never trying and not bothering to ask would be my greatest failure. When people lie on their deathbeds they usually regret the things that they didn’t do or the words that they never said. For me that regret would be the greatest tragedy. I came into this world fighting-and I always tell myself that I will only go out that same way.
So I guess my point is this,really; You can do the work and you can worry less. Asking for something and trying your best really are two things that are well within your control. As for the rest, we have these wonderful gentle the benevolent spirits who are willing to listen to our petitions and work on our behalf. And you have our wonderful Mambo Sam, Parran Matt, Sister Bridget and spellmaker family to guide you, support you and root for you every step of the way.
In service,
Khouzhan Morgann
